Chargeback Risk: Medium
Ulta Beauty enforces compliance with regular chargebacks but with somewhat more flexibility than the strictest retailers. ASN accuracy, invoice matching, and routing compliance are the most common triggers. Penalties are real but typically less severe than high-risk partners.
